Learn to sculpt a dynamic bodybuilder from scratch in ZBrush with step-by-step guidance. Develop realistic forms, facial expressions, and intermediate anatomy, and export to Marvelous Designer to create shirts.

Pose and block a dynamic Zbrush base mesh by aligning to a reference, creating polygroups, remeshing, and blocking volumes with clay buildup to study proportions and anatomy.

Develop base forms for a bodybuilder by constantly measuring proportions, blocking shapes with move brush and clay build brush, and isolating regions with masking and Sculptris Pro for refinement.

Refine a head-to-toe bodybuilder sculpture using Sculptris Pro, blocking rough shapes, using references and a split-screen workflow, and sculpt arms, legs, and chest with proper proportions.

Master hand sculpting by blocking fist shapes, using references, and dynamic topology with Sculptris Pro; refine hands, fingers, and forearms while exploring muscle separations and anatomy.

Master sculpting the face in ZBrush by refining proportions with reference anatomy, using symmetry and mirror strokes, and increasing sculpt resolution while iterating with breaks and varying angles.

Refine a fist and feet using sculptris pro to dynamically change topology, starting from a sphere, and rely on references and multi-angle view to create believable fingers, toes, and nails.

Sculpt legs with a clay build brush to smooth base shapes. Use Damstandard and smooth brushes at low intensity, reference Mr. Olympia images, and consult scan references to guide volume.
